Hi everyone,
First off the bat, it's been such a long time since I wandered these boards! I haven't used this forum in years after settling on a self-maintenance routine for my thick wurly/curly 2C hair, which is currently waistlength.
Right now, though, I feel I need to even up my hemline and do it well. Re-create a good base, so to say. And I don't really know where to go. Picking a random hairdresser seems too much of a gamble, because most places seem at a loss about what to do with my hair (repeatedly getting botched cuts, at different salons, was my first reason to join LHC).
Pitfalls:
- The hair on the left side of my head is generally straighter, closer to 2A, than the back and right side, which are 2C-3A.
- The top part is curlier and coarser than the bottom part.
- My hair naturally tends to form corkscrew curls.
All this owing to the fact I have a very curly-haired mum and a silky 'n straight dad... seemed the genetics I was passed down couldn't decide how to even that out, and I got a mixed bag.
Getting it cut wet (the go-to method for 9 out of 10 salons) results in an asymmetric looking 'do because of this. I've found that in my country (the Netherlands) 'curly' hairdressers generally deal with African hair, which mine isn't (Caucasian/European).
Do you have any suggestions for ways or places I could pay a visit without getting my head chopped up?
Many thanks in advance!
